Windows Hosting

Our Windows Hosting plans are available for customers with the need to use Microsoft-specific applications. These are applications such as ASP, ASP.net, MS SQL or MS Access databases, which may be essential for the running of your website/s. It is often mistaken that customers running a Windows operating system require a Windows-based Hosting Platform, however this is not necessarily true.

Windows Hosting Plans -- Resources

Total Disk Storage Space

5MB

50MB

150MB

250MB

500MB

Disk storage space refers to the amount of server disk storage specifically allocated to your account. This space is used to store your html files, graphics, audio clips, POP3 mail messages, .pdf files, and other files that make up your Web site. Each of our plans includes a specified allotment of disk storage space. You login to your Control Panel to add extra disk space in real time.\r\n\r\nThe Webpage Sorcery Hosting Control Panel also permits a site owner to optionally set a "quota limitation" for each Email, and FTP user which helps prevent the storage space from being fully consumed without the site owner''s knowledge. Additional disk space is only $0.25 per MB.

Monthly Data Transfer

2GB

3GB

4GB

5GB

10GB

Monthly data transfer, or bandwidth, is the amount of information that is transmitted to/from your Web space. Each time a picture or HTML page is viewed by a visitor, you upload data using FTP, or email is received it adds to your monthly data transfer. The average HIT is approximately 10k. This would mean that a transfer limit of 8.0 Gigabytes would allow 800,000 hits. (That''s a lot!) You can monitor your monthly transfer in your control panel and add more transfer at any time by right in your control panel. Webpage Sorcery Hosting offers generous amounts of network transfer as demanded by the type of clients we host. Additional transfer is only $6.00 per GB.

Virtual Web Sites Per Account

This feature allows you to pay for only one account and receive multiple accounts for the same price! Use your current web hosting resources for additional domain names or sub-domains. Additional domains can have their own, distinct content and email accounts. These domains share the same IP address, disk storage space, and bandwidth transfer of the main hosting account.

Dedicated IP

1 Shared

1 Free

2 Free

Your new hosting service (excluding the Personal and Basic hosting packages) will have its own dedicated IP address that is Not shared with any other customer or service. This permits your hosting service to be directly accessible by domain name and IP address at all times which is required for pre-setup testing, troubleshooting, and also for correct SSL hosting. Many other providers do Not offer this feature (because they are a reseller or they do Not have their own IP space) or they charge extra for this feature. At Webpage Sorcery Hosting having your own IP address is standard, and is included at No extra cost. Additional IPs are only $2.00 per month..

Unrestricted Bandwidth

Yes

Unrestricted Bandwidth is getting harder and harder to find on the Internet unless you go with a dedicated server solution. The majority of hosts restrict the ways you can utilize this bandwidth. Webpage Sorcery Hosting does Not restrict the bandwidth that comes with your account! You may use your bandwidth for archives, zip files, unlinked documents etc. No need to search for the hidden print or the ridiculous rules for bandwidth because there isn''t any at Webpage Sorcery Hosting!

Redundant Network

Yes

All of Webpage Sorcery Hosting services are connected to the Internet multiple ways using a variety of carriers and network providers. We call this "bandwidth blending" - a unique aspect of our service that eliminates most common network and downtime issues caused by congestion, and failure. If one of our network routes becomes "unhealthy", our network immediately and automatically switches connectivity links to use a healthy route which eliminates packet loss and downtime. This "connectivity switching" actually happens frequently, yet is completely invisible to our customers. To learn more about the Webpage Sorcery Hosting network click here.

Windows Hosting Plans -- Domain Names

Domain Name Registration (Yearly)

International Domains

Yes

Webpage Sorcery Hosting can host any international domain (such as www.yourdomain.co.uk, etc.)

Parked Domain Names

Unlimited

A parked domain name is an additional domain names pointing to the same place as the main domain name for your account. A parked domain name can be used for accessing your web site and e-mail forwarding. You can register additional domain names and have them all point to your web site. For example, you could have yourcompany.com, your-product.com and yourcompany.net all pointing to the same web site. You can reserve a domain name with Network Solutions or register.com for future use by you or one of your clients. You can also use your existing POP e-mail account for any parked domain names, as well as set up additional e-mail forwarding addresses based on these domain names.

Sub Domains

None

Unlimited

Sub-Domains are popular for hosting unique content at a URL similar to "http://whatever.yourowndomain.com/". Sub-domains support "real-time activation" and can be setup and installed within minutes. No DNS modification is required. Sub domain names can be anything you want. Some examples: "mail.", "sales.", "marketing.", "resume.", "mykids.", "products.", "anything." Just like with our domain parking option and Virtual Web Sites Per Account, you may also have your sub domain pointed to a different directory.

URL Forwarding

None

Unlimited

URL forwarding is a function to point your domain name to your active Web site (if you already have a Web site through us or anywhere else on the Internet). Visitors or customers who enter www.MyOwnDomain.com in their browsers will automatically be transferred to any active site of your choice. Here's an example: www.MyOwnDomain.com to http://www.geocities.com/myowndomain/. Thus, customers who enter www.MyDomain.com in their browser would automatically get transferred to www.geocities.com/mydomain/.

Anti Virus Scanning

Unlimited

All email sent and received through our mail servers is automatically scanned by our Anti Virus software. If a virus is detected, it is removed and you are Notified about this action. Webpage Sorcery Hosting uses Clam Anti Virus. The ClamAV database is always kept up to date.

You can easily create autoresponders through your control panel provided with your account.

Catch All Account

Unlimited

Email Aliases

Unlimited

Email aliases enable you to have email messages redirected to a specific POP email account. For example, you can set up the email alias sales@yourdomain.com to direct all messages to your account you@yourdomain.com. These aliases can be added or deleted at any time.

Email Forwarding

Unlimited

Email forwards enable you to have email messages redirected to a specific email account. For example, you can set up the email account sales@yourdomain.com to forward all messages to any email account, for example you@yahoo.com. These forwards can be added or deleted at any time.

IMAP with Secure IMAP Support

999

Unlimited

IMAP is a type of email that allows you to store and file email messages in different folders on the server. Unlike POP, IMAP Email does Not permanently download messages onto your computer at home or work. IMAP is ideal for people who need comprehensive email access and functionality from more than one location. To access your email, you can easily log on from any computer hooked up to the Internet. We use a separate IMAP mail server kNown as Courier-IMAP server.

Mail Domain Alias

Unlimited

A mailbox and its alias have different domain parts (i.e. mail domain and its alias) and the same mailbox names. In this case all mailboxes on domain.com will have their corresponding 'counterparts' on domain.com alias - domain.net e.g. mailbox@domain.net will be an alternative mail address to mailbox@domain.com. Note that mail domain aliases come with regular domain aliases only. You can't have a mail domain alias without a regular domain alias.

Mailing Lists

Mailing lists act similar to forwards with the only difference that they offer wider possibilites such as independent end user subscribtion, message and subscription moderation, archivation and much more. The mailing list solution available in our control panel is the popular EZMLM/IDX MAILING LIST MANAGER. For comprehensive information on EZMLM, see EZMLM FAQ

POP3 with Secure POP3 Support

Our powerful instant delivery email system features POP/IMAP capability, Anti-SPAM filters, Web based email (Squirrel Mail), SMTP Authentication, Multiple Aliases, Forwarders, and Auto-responders. All email settings are configurable online using our easy-to-use Control panel. POP3 is a type of email that transfers messages directly onto your computer at home or work. After you download your email, messages are erased from our mail server and saved on your local computer. Many email clients, such as Outlook Express, can be used with POP3. POP3 email typically downloads messages faster than IMAP email, because the mail server doesn't have to check as many messages. We use the Vpop mail server for our mail server.

You can set your mail program to move these emails into a separate directory for later review or you can delete them.

Clustered Server Architecture

Yes

Webpage Sorcery Hosting offers a scalable true multiserver web hosting solution. Our web hosting system was designed to work on many servers and can be scaled by adding more web, mail, database, and DNS servers without any downtime. Most hosting companies keep your web, mail, database and dns servers on one physical server. If your server goes down your entire account is off line. At Webpage Sorcery Hosting we have a separate physical server for our web, mail, database and dns servers. Even if your web server were to go down you'd still have full access to send and receive email.

HVAC Systems

Yes

Studies show that electronic devices last much longer and experience fewer component failures when kept at constant temperature and humidity levels.

With the use of sophisticated environmental control systems, our data center maintains a constant temperature that does not fluctuate more than 3°F above or below an optimal target room temperature of 68-72°F and a humidity level not to exceed 55%. We even go so far as to guarantee temperature control in our service level agreements. Our entire climate control system has the capability to cool and move five million cubic feet of air per minute.

Fire Suppresion

Yes

In just a few minutes, heat and smoke can seriously damage computing equipment. Our fire suppression system not only prevents extensive fire damage, it virtually eliminates the potential for collateral damage to delicate equipment from the fire extinguishing agent. Multi-level alarms allow floor attendants to investigate when the Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) system detects a smoke signature. The smoke signature detection system constantly monitors the data center for specific events and can pinpoint the physical location of an event immediately upon detection. An FM200 fire suppression system handles individual instances on the data center floor. If this system can not maintain the fire, then a separated pre-action pressurized pipe system, zoned to release water only to the affected area, is triggered. Like the rest of the data center design, the fire suppression system has been designed with every contingency in mind.

Diesel Generators

Yes

With the CPS system that Webpage Sorcery Hosting uses, there is no need for battery operated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units. Instead, our short term backup power supply is completely generated from flywheel systems and then power sustained using diesel generators for long-term backup power. On-site fuel supplies can ensure power availability for days at a time. Contracts with local fuel suppliers allow us to provide power indefinitely.

Physical Security

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.

Reverse Traceroute

Yes

This net troubleshooting tool allows you to ping any Internet host from your hosting server. In other words, you can use this tool to determine if a host is reachable and how long it takes for the signal to go all the way through.

Scheduled Jobs (crontab)

Yes

The crontab is a long-running process that executes commands at specific dates and times. You can use this to schedule activities, either as one-time events or as recurring tasks. Normally you must set your crontab via the command line. At Webpage Sorcery Hosting our customers can edit their crontabs right from your Control Panel.

Throttle Resource

Yes

This tool allows you to 'throttle' the use of traffic in your account by delaying or refusing requests to your sites.

URL Redirection

Yes

The Redirect URL option allows you to change the file that appears when a user enters a specific file's web address. Example: There are a number of old URLs for your site's home page that are no longer current, yet people still use them. You don't really want people going to those old URLs because either an outdated page will display or they'll get an error. Set up redirection for these old URLs, so that when users enter them into their web browsers, the file at your current URL displays instead.

Zend Optimizer

Coming Soon

The Zend Optimizer uses multi-pass code optimizations to double the running speed of PHP 4.0 applications. This is done by running an optimization of the code created by the run-time compiler, before the code is executed.

WAP / WML Ready

Yes

The WAP protocol is the leading standard for information services on wireless terminals like digital mobile phones. WML is used to create pages that can be displayed in a WAP browser. Now you can convert your Web so that your information can be accessed from devices like mobile WAP Phones.

Server Side Includes (SSI)

Yes

SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in HTML pages, and evaluated on the server while the pages are being served. They let you add dynamically generated content to an existing HTML page, without having to serve the entire page via a CGI program, or other dynamic technology.

Server Side Imagemap

Yes

This feature allows your server to regard files with a specific extension as map files. In other words, the server checks the file with the specified extension to define the links of an image (unlike a client-side image map, which uses the info inserted into the HTML code) and reports back to the browser where to go.
